One of Mobile's Most Beautiful Historic Homes
We are a Mobile, Alabama bed and breakfast inn located on beautiful Government Street just minutes from all of Mobile's wonderful sights and sounds, including the annual Mobile Mardi Gras parades. In fact, The Azealea Trail Run and the Mobile Marathon pass right by our bed and breakfast!
Our bed and breakfast is beautifully restored to its Queen Anne Victorian heritage and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Wake up in your beautifully appointed room to the smell of a delicious hot breakfast, then spend your afternoon enjoying all that Mobile has to offer. Or relax... Explore the bed and breakfast's many antiques and Queen Anne architecture. In the early evening, put your feet up as you sit on the wrap around porch sipping a glass of sweet tea or enjoy a Mint Julep on the porch swing.

A Little History on Our Inn...
Berney/Fly Bed & Breakfast was built in 1858 through 1895 in three sections. There are old passages where the residents hid themselves from rebels and Union Soldiers. The lot the house sits on dates back to the 1787 City atlas as a portion of the Spencer-Tuttle homestead, a vacant lot.
Constructed by Adaline Spencer, the old original house sat as the primary residence to Charles P. Gage and to Adaline Spencer for many years. In 1874, Sydney Spencer, who had inherited the house, left the house to Anna Tuttle.
In 1895, Saffold Berney and Mary Berney inherit the home and decide to build and erect additions to the house and other improvements. The total amount of money it took to complete these improvements by 1895 was $5,655.00, which Mrs Berney took in loans. $2500.00 from Anna Tuttle, et al; $2500.00 from Rosa Bear; and $655.00 from M.U. Lindsay.
Renovations on the house were completed with the aid of designer Rudolf Benz. The house is an excellent example of a Queen Ann influence, one of the few residents left of the Benz designs. It not only adds much to the Government Street scene; it is also a valuable record of its style.
